My Brother Bubba-

He was a generous and free spirit; a man who always chose his own path. He was too bright to be contained in classrooms or routine employment. He did what he needed for as long as he deemed necessary and then he moved on. He had strong leadership qualities, even as a youngster. When tasked to lead, he would for a bit-then he would return to just leading himself. He was a man of his word. If he said he was going to do something, he did that thing. If he borrowed money, you knew he would pay you back.

Bubba called every holiday to wish us the best. I can see his slow smile and his sparkling eyes as he said. "Hey Girl". He gave when he could, expecting nothing in return, but always grateful for anything he received. I remember one Christmas in particular, when he gathered gloves, scarves, hats, stuffed toys and games to distribute to family members as we celebrated at Mom's. He piled everything on a table and encouraged everyone to take something for themselves. He delighted in the giving and it was wonderful to see his joy in it.

Bubba was the only man I knew who was a serial car buyer. He would purchase a car, use it until it died, then save money to purchase another. He loved cars. He loved the freedom those cars allowed him. He loved music, movies, sports, pool, bingo, chess, cards, buying things off of the television and staying informed. He was a multifaceted and complicated person who loved being his own man; doing his own thing.

My brother was a stubborn, opinionated, untamed human being.  
He had his demons; we all do. He struggled, but he persisted until he found his space. He loved all of his family intensely, but he had a special love for his Momma. I believe that two days after her birthday, in his own way and in his own time, Bubba decided to join her. I know she will hold him close.

Bubba, I love you.

Daddy,

I guess I never thought of what I'd say to you when you'd go on. So, I thank you for taking pride in me. I'm grateful for all the lessons you've taught me, whether intentional or unintentional. And when you are remembered, as you often will be, and I tell others about you it will be of your strength, intelligence, intolerance for nonsense and generosity. Thank you for loving me♥️♥️♥️

Love always and forever,
Kuteice

Daddy yesterday Kuteice and I had a long helpful talk. Made me realize just how valuable a little sister is. She sounded like the big sister yesterday though. Without going into detail she told me something she had forgot to say about your character.... that you are so generous. I got that quality from you. Sometimes generosity is played upon or taken for granted. I can’t quite remember when you started being reclusive. What I do remember was slightly understanding it. It wasn’t until I became older and was in solitary that I really understood how you felt and why you stayed away. Pray for me Daddy, because when I looked at your picture Rolodex I knew we were always on your mind though not in your presence. The world at times can make you want to seclude especially when you have a big ol heart. There’s a scripture that says because of lawlessness the love of many will grow cold. These are trying times. As one of my close friends says..... depression and anxiety is so real.
Pray my strength and JOY in the LORD.
Your Firstborn

DADDY, I love you your first born, and name sake! I will finish what you started. It did my heart good to visit you, bring you your favorite cookies, and when I brought the wrong kind, it was my joy and pleasure running up the street to the gas station, because knowing that something so simple would put a smile on your face! Although, we were able to play chess together this year 2020, you have taught me the game of chess and checkers my whole life!!!! Daddy, you will forever be missed, but always and forever in my heart. I thank God for every moment and chance we got to spend together. Thanks for sharing a piece of you with me. Your legacy will continue on with all your children, and your grandchildren. No more pain or sorrow Daddy. Rest In Peace!!!! Calvin Scott III (your first born)!!

DADDY



The man we know and love .


We know you in part, because you gave each of us a part of yourself. I believe we all, like children, wanted more of you. What you gave each of us we’ll never forget nor lose because you are a part of us. We all agree that we have different parts of your essence. Your witt, stylish dress, your intolerance for B.S, your kindness and generosity. Dad you were and will always be one of a kind. Loved and revered by all and feared by those who tried you side ways. 


You left us at a time God saw fit.  I don’t think any of us questioned it. What you didn’t do is leave us empty. As we talk to one another about you, putting the many pieces of your life together, we are all in awe and  wonder. Dad you held it together phenomenally even to the very end. You did what you wanted to do, and you said what you meant to say, all the time with your heart on your sleeve. We acknowledge you now in private as your children and  we will again in public because you are loved by so many. You have to be celebrated!



You did not let Corona stop you and we won’t either.



Dance DADDY!!!!!!



TILL WE ALL COME TOGETHER OVER AND AGAIN IN THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT WE REMEMBER YOU AS YOU ARE, OUR DADDY OR MY DADDY. 



BIOGRAPHY. By Kuteice Banks-Ellis 


Calvin Scott  was born to the late Christine & Alonzo Scott on oct. 29, 1948 in  Kingstree, SC. He was the middle child of nine children and the youngest son. He was proceeded in death by his mother and father, and sister ’s , Patricia  and Catherine Scott.



Calvin moved with his family from South Carolina to Detroit, Michigan in 1953. He was educated in the Detroit Public School System. He later married Marcella Scott  in 1967 and began his family. Calvin  was affectionally known as “ Bubba”. He was a self starter and a force to be reckoned with . He was a stickler for cleanliness, known  for being well dressed, and commanded respect. He was the best at most things he set out to do. He loved to play pool at his favorite spot, (Paul’s Rec Room). It was there amongst other places that he maintained his nickname “La Machine”.  He was considered  the machine because he could calculate and make any shot on the pool table.

LIKEWISE HE WAS AN EXCELLENT CHEST PLAYER. 


As he slowed down he would enjoy social games such as Bingo, Yahtzee, Spades, and Bid Whist.  He loved to catch the latest movies at the theater with his grandchildren who made his eyes shine; and even gained an interest in fishing at the Detroit River.


Within the last few years his health began to fail. He was not as physically strong as we will remember him, but he maintained his mental strength, remaining unchanged; whole heartedly accepting prayer with his family.


Calvin Scott passed away May 18, 2020. He leaves to cherish his memory 7 children- Calvin Scott III,  Beau Scott, David Scott, Donald Scott (LeeElla), Kuteice Banks-Ellis (William), Zinnia Copeland, Christine Moore.  18 grandchildren,  3 great grandchildren, 6 sisters,- Mattie Giles, Flossie McCoy, Jannie Woodson (Clyde), Claudia Scott, Barbara Scott, Katrina Jackson. 1 brother  Saun-Roland Scott (Barbara) and a host of very special nieces, nephews, cousins,and friends. 

From Calvin...
Kuteice told me to soar Daddy. You left an excellent example of what it looks like to soar. You never lived average. You always did your best. I have some big shoes to fill. The best for me to do is walk in my steps upright. I love you Daddy and miss you!
Love Calvin,

Dad we need to talk

December 12, 2023
Will I always feel like this? I'm trying my hardest and it seems that's not enough. I will not negate how God is showing up and showing out in my life but I won't lie and say that I don't feel like I'm putting in more effort than it's being reciprocated.I only say that because I go through so much for me to get back and forth to work and deal with real life once I get back 

Hey dad

I woke up this morning with you on my mind heavy. Did you kiss my granny good morning? Kiss her for me too and tell her I said thanks for keeping you with her. Love you

Big brother,

Remember when you, Mama and I were sitting around one day and Mama said she was about to get up and take a bath. Then you said, "don't take one of my baths". Mama said "What are you talking about?" You told her "get it bubble, Bubble bath?" Mama looked at you, so confused, and questioned "Bubble, BUBBLE?" She said, "your name is not Bubble! It's Bubba!" You should've seen the look on your face!!! I said, "so for over 50 years you thought your name was Bubble and it's Bubba?!" We all laughed for about 15 minutes straight! Funny thing is, the rest of us thought your name was Bubble too, but you'll always be my Doodoo head. 

Love you and miss you so Pea Head
Your lil sis Trina

P.S. I miss threatening to fight you in the streets if you didn't drink your milk
